NURS 3010 - Integrated Pathophysiology and Pharmacology

(4) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Successful completion of NURS 3000, NURS 3020, NURS 3030, NURS 3040 with a “C” or higher
Co-requisite: NURS 3021, NURS 3031, NURS 3050
This course builds on previous science, mathematics, and nursing courses to explore concepts related to altered function and adaptive responses in individuals from illness, injury, and disease across the lifespan. Exemplars will be used to describe pathophysiologic changes related to genes and genomics, cell function and homeostasis, inflammation and immunity, thermoregulation, fluid and electrolyte balance, clotting, hemodynamics, tissue perfusion, oxygenation, nutrition and elimination, metabolic and hormonal regulation, glucose metabolism, intracranial regulation, tissue integrity, sensory perception, reproduction, and mobility. Emphasis will be placed on diagnosis, treatment, and pharmacotherapies.
